  • The interview started off with introductions. He was very chill and made the whole thing feel easy and like a conversation. He then asked the basic things he needed to, such as flight times in the last 30/60/90 days and 12 months. Then asked if I was willing to be on reserve and fly my assigned schedule. After those "gotta ask" questions we moved into HR. He asked "why did you choose SkyWest" and "Tell me a about time when you felt uncomfortable in an airplane." He asked what would be some of the biggest differences or changes at SkyWest compared to my current job. We then moved into the technical portion. He asked about "descend via the STAR" clearances and how to comply. He asked about holding speeds and speed limits in class E under the Bravo and...

    I was interviewed by a captain with over 20 years of experience at SkyWest. The interview experience was fantastic—he was friendly, professional, and I learned a lot throughout the process.

Review topics such hr questions( rate urself in the ifr world per your profiency...

    Interview started off with a tell me about yourself, interviewer was ex-millitary, and currently an FO on the CRJ. Followed that up with logbook totals for the past year, 120, 90, 60, and 30 days, any hour updates, ratings, etc. Followed with TMAATs: I got conflict at work, conflict in the cockpit, and time I was scared flying (I put a lot of emphasis on describing the setting, people involved, conditions, etc, and spent the majority of the time going over what I learned/gained). Next was...

    The interview was very much as expected. Make sure you are sharp on instrument procedures--all of it. The first portion was logbook review and a smattering of the HR questions listed on this site--study them and you won't have any surprises but practice your answers so that the interview isn't the first time you tell the story. The technical part of the interview started with a scenario about an FA, (view the study guide of this website).  The interviewer showed me paint markings on...

    Interview was over MS Teams for F/O position. Guy who was interviewing me was a F/O based in ORD. He was calm, he laughed a lot and made the whole interview very comfortable. Interview was about 1.5 long. Interview started out with introductions of both of us. He asked about jet time I had in my logbook/resume, asked how i logged it and gave his experience of the logbook review with SkyWest. We proceeded into basic HR questions, why do you want to work for SkyWest, what do you know about...

    The interview was great! Very friendly and positive. It was like two pilots talking about aviation. My examiner is a 20 year captain at the airline. Be sure to know everything IFR. We first went over my logbook times in the last 30/60/90 days as well as the past year. We first started with the HR portion. Why did you chose Skywest? Do you know any of our core values? Tell me about a time you did something for someone without taking credit for it. For the CRM scenario I used the 2 in 2 out...

    Started out with exchanging pleasantries. Interviewer was an FO who had been with the company for a little under 2 years. He explained how he got into aviation and how he eventually ended up at Skywest. Then he asked me how I got into Aviation and why I wanted to work for Skywest. From there we went straight into the technical questions. I got a CRM scenario about being half way between two airports when I get an unresponsive passenger in the back. Wanted to see my thought process. From...

    I had a single interviewer (sim instructor, prior pilot). Spent about 45 minutes talking about ourselves, how we got to where we are today, what got us into flying, etc. This I believe covered the HR/personal portion of the interview. Technical and CRM portions were longer. Total interview time was 2.5 hrs. After reading prior write-ups, what I can tell you is we covered about 90% of what is floating around out there for this interview in terms of technical information. Interviewer made sure...

    Interview was about 2 hours start to finish. First portion was aviation background, reviewing times, typical HR questions: "why Skywest", "do you know anyone here", etc. Started off the interview with a CRM question, mainly based on my airline background. Then it was about 1.5 hours of technical / weather / systems questions. We did not go in depth on any questions in particular, but just know your stuff and answer confidently and you should be...

    Zoom interview with a sim instructor (former pilot). Went through hours (30/60/90/365 day history, total time, instrument, PIC, night, XC, ME, etc.). Standard questions about felonies, drug test, no surprises. Interviewer went into his background, then asked for my "elevator pitch" and how I got into aviation. From there went into the HR-style questions. Why SkyWest? What does CRM mean to you? TMAAT you used CRM. After that we had an extensive portion of the interview on...

    The study guide pretty much gives you every question the interviewer might ask.
